The news went unnoticed, but deserves a separate discussion. For 195 rubles, you can connect Nokia Messaging to your Nokia S60 phone in any region of Russia. In commercial operation, the service is available from September, up to this point in test mode (not available in all regions to connect, you need to know in the AU about availability). At the end of the year, the service will appear for a number of S40 phones. I'm not sure that they fall under the mobile mail service in Beeline, but I hope that they will extend the service to them.
What are the advantages? For 195 rubles, you get unlimited traffic for mail. Including both the attachments and the letters themselves. Just that I checked how much I spent on mail on the Beeline network, about 350-400 rubles per month (the same Nokia Messaging client on the Nokia X6, when I used this phone). But I have a lot of mail and a lot of attachments. For an ordinary person, not leading active correspondence or having large investments, it will not be profitable.

The advantage of Nokia Messaging, in the support of PUSH, mail arrives, with a maximum delay of a couple of seconds. The analog of the service from Blackberry, which in Russia is not very interesting, and the cost of the phones is higher, only a couple of models are officially represented. But the main thing is of course free traffic.
At the moment there are several pitfalls. The size of the supported attachment is 5 MB (in Nokia Messaging without being tied to an operator, more is possible). Again, for many this will not be a serious limitation.
Support for the Russian language does not cause any problems. Different encodings, all MS Office attachments, PDF, ZIP. HTML is also supported. You can create up to 10 email accounts, set individual settings for each, the frequency of updates. In my opinion, a very reasonable offer for those who use the mail on the phone and has a lot of correspondence during the day. There are no novelties in the offer, similar tariffs are valid for Blackberry, but there is much more possible audience for the service. Good offer. You like?
PS But Megafon made a free Yandex card, which also looks attractive. I really hope that the operators will quickly copy the offers from each other and each will have analogues. This will allow not to contain a separate SIM card for mail, a separate one for viewing favorite sites (such offers will also be later).
